Very close. Read the stories above (all from the field, I think...) and take out all of the fun.
"Dig your bed, then sleep in it" refers to the trenches that we dig for defensive positions, and how we sometimes spend days in those holes, training in defensive manouvres.
It is hard work, when you don't get to see friends and family for so long. It puts a strain on things, and they usually deprive you of sleep to "simulate combat stress". Living in the field is an artform... it requires training, teamwork and a little bit of old fashioned GUTS.
Lots of weapons, marching, orienteering!
